Das Eigentum — Dimitra
The Dimitra is a no-fuss two-star on Rodos’ east coast, a short walk from the beach and a bus ride from the old town. The lobby feels like a 1980s time capsule – tiled floor, plastic chairs, a receptionist who hands you a key on a wooden fob. It’s clean, basic and honest, best for budget travellers who plan to spend days out rather than lounging by the small pool.
Chroniken von Rodos
Rodos city was founded in 408 BC by the ancient Greeks and grew rich on maritime trade. Its medieval old town was built by the Knights of St John from 1309 onwards, ringed by four kilometres of defensive walls still intact today. The Ottoman conquest in 1522 added minarets and mosques, while the Italian occupation in the early 20th century gave the lower town wide boulevards and neoclassical facades. Modern Rodos is a Greek tourist hub that wears its layers of history openly, from the Street of the Knights to the buzzing Mandraki harbour.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rodos-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September: temperatures in the high 20s°C, sea warm enough to swim, and far fewer tourists than July or August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the peak months. The island swells with package tourists and cruise-ship day-trippers, especially around the medieval old town. Hotel prices can double versus spring; the Dimitra will still be cheap but may be fully booked weeks ahead. The Sound of Rodos festival (electronic music) in late July drives some local demand.
Budget Schulter Saison
April, early May and October: prices at the Dimitra can be 30-50% lower, temperatures are mild (20-25°C), and you’ll share the beach with locals rather than crowds.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rodos has a strong meltemi wind in July, which can feel cool even as the mercury hits 35°C. Pack a light windbreaker for evenings and a sarong or towel that doubles as a windbreak on the sand.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rodos
- The old town’s main pedestrian street, Sokratous, has new cobblestone repairs completed in spring 2026 – watch your step near the post office junction.
- A direct ferry now runs from Rhodes to Marmaris (Turkey) three times a week, bypassing the usual Symi stop, but confirm passport requirements before booking.
- The city’s summer water restrictions are in effect from 1 July: hotels may ask guests to limit shower time and reuse towels.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dimitra, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the rear courtyard (away from the street). These floors sit above street-level bustle but avoid any possible roof noise from above.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (level 0) near the reception or lift — they pick up foot traffic, lobby chatter, and early-morning check-out noise. Also skip rooms directly above the bar or street-facing windows at the front.
Best views
The hotel is on Rodos main drag — a side-street view of the old town walls or the marina from upper-floor rear corners. The front looks onto a busy pedestrianised road with cafés.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are the quietest, as they buffer street noise and are less used by staff or deliveries.
🔊 Noise notes
Street-facing rooms hear café chatter until midnight and moped traffic from 7am. The bar on the ground floor plays music until 11pm, and the lift emits a low whir on all floors but especially floor 1.
Insider tips
1. Check in after 2pm when the bar empties and reception queues die down. 2. Request a room key for the rear fire exit — it’s a quicker route to the car park and avoids the noisy front lobby.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Cheap eats are concentrated in the old town's backstreets and around the Mandraki harbour area, with souvlaki and gyros kiosks everywhere.
Budget supermarkets in the area include Lidl, AB Vasilopoulos, and My Market, with a Lidl near the new town.
For affordable clothes, head to the high-street shops along Ergatikes Katikies or the market stalls in the old town's back alleys.

Eat at tavernas away from the tourist strip in the old town for better prices. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets, not beachside kiosks. Visit archaeological sites on the first Sunday of each month (November–March) for free entry.
